One of the largest development proposals currently filed in Oakville aims to transform a largely undeveloped edge-of-city site into a mixed-use community. Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications have been submitted by\u00a0Westerkirk Capital<\/a> for\u00a0340 Burnhamthorpe Road East<\/a> and 3437 Trafalgar Road. Masterplanned by Urban Strategies Inc<\/a> with architecture by\u00a0BDP Quadrangle<\/a>, the proposal calls for 27 buildings across 12 development blocks ranging up to 30 storeys at the southeast corner of Burnhamthorpe Road and Trafalgar Road, within the Trafalgar Urban Core Area in northeast Oakville.<\/p>\n The approximately 20.2ha site is currently occupied by the Vic Hadfield Golf & Learning Centre, alongside open fields, wooded areas, and an abandoned farmhouse listed on Oakville\u2019s Heritage Register. The surrounding area remains in transition as North Oakville continues urbanizing. The site contains two listed heritage properties, including a vacant two-and-a-half-storey farmhouse and separate house-form building, though neither is designated, and both are slated for demolition.\u00a0<\/p>\n The proposal would redevelop the lands through 12 subdivided development blocks with 27 mixed-use and residential buildings organized around a new internal street network. Building heights would range from 6 storeys and 31.05m to 30 storeys and 107.05m, with the tallest towers concentrated near Trafalgar Road and Burnhamthorpe Road within Block 1 at 28 and 30 storeys, before stepping down toward future schools and parkland to the south and east. Mid-rise and low-rise components ranging from 4 to 8 storeys would frame internal streets and open spaces. In total, the development would deliver 605,635m\u00b2 of Gross Floor Area at a Floor Space Index of 4.11 times coverage of the site, including 591,160m\u00b2 of residential space and 14,475m\u00b2 of commercial and retail uses.<\/p>\n Across the site, the proposal would introduce 6,420 residential units in a mix of housing types and tenures, including rental housing. The unit mix would consist of approximately 4,142 one-bedroom units, 1,628 two-bedroom units, and 650 three-bedroom units. The highest-density mixed-use blocks would front Trafalgar Road and Burnhamthorpe Road, with retail concentrated within Blocks 1, 2, 4, and 5. Block 1, positioned at the northwest corner of the site, would house a planned grocery store and large-format retail space.<\/p>\n A new internal street grid would structure the community. “Main Street” would form the primary east-west spine through the development, extending from Trafalgar Road toward the green gate parkette and future parkland connections to the east. At the centre of the district, a 2,618m\u00b2 POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space) known as The Square would act as a civic gathering space framed by retail frontages and spill-out patios. The open space network would include approximately 0.5ha of public open space and roughly 2.3ha of private open space, including the 3,428m\u00b2 neighbourhood park, the 1,827m\u00b2 green gate parkette, and the nearly 19,800m\u00b2 linear commons green spine extending north-south through the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n Indoor and outdoor amenities would total 11,054m\u00b2 and 10,955m\u00b2, respectively. A seven-phase conceptual buildout strategy has been outlined, with initial phases expected along Trafalgar Road and Burnhamthorpe Road. Parking would primarily be located below grade, with Blocks 1 through 5 containing three levels of underground parking, while Blocks 1 and 2 would additionally incorporate wrapped podium parking structures. In total, the development would provide 7,703 vehicular parking spaces, including 6,414 resident spaces, 963 visitor spaces, and 326 retail spaces, alongside 2,052 bicycle parking spaces consisting of 1,587 long-term spaces, 450 short-term spaces, and 15 commercial bicycle spaces.<\/p>\n Existing transit service includes Oakville Transit operating along Trafalgar Road with connections to Oakville GO station, alongside several GO Transit bus routes. Longer-term transit plans include the future Trafalgar Road Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor linking Midtown Oakville to Highway 407 and, eventually, Milton, as well as the planned 407 Transitway, which would introduce a higher-order transit station north of the site, near Trafalgar Road and Highway 407. The area is also expected to benefit from the future Dundas Street BRT corridor connecting Oakville with Hamilton, Burlington, Mississauga, and Toronto. Planned active transportation improvements include future cycle tracks along Trafalgar Road and Burnhamthorpe Road.<\/p>\n The proposal joins others in intensifying the area. To the northwest, the\u00a0Argo Trafalgar Lands<\/a> proposal calls for 22 buildings, while the nearby\u00a0Trafalgar Lands<\/a> development would introduce 40 buildings reaching up to 25 storeys. Southeast of the site,\u00a0Green Ginger Phase 2<\/a> proposes 15 buildings ranging from 6 to 20 storeys, while\u00a03275 Trafalgar Road<\/a> would add four towers between 14 and 30 storeys.<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from our Database file, linked below.
